With the first chill of the school year in the air, the JV Eagles hosted the Rangers of Forest Hills Central (FHC) on Thursday evening at Eagle Stadium.

A historically tough matchup, the Eagles had to come prepared to play and challenge for the ball against the FHC Rangers. However, the first half was a generally slow showing by the boys as energy seemed low. A couple of good chances were created by the midfielders and forwards, but a lot of the game was played back and forth in the midfield. With just about 7 minutes to go though, Micah Rogers received the ball near the opponents 18 yard line. A slick through ball to Will Bush ended with him poking the ball into the net for a 1-0 lead into half time.

The Eagles looked re-energized in the second half and dominated the ball much better. Some good play between Ty Erickson, Max Visser and Nate Evenhouse nearly created a goal, but FHC held firm. Even with good play, the Eagles couldn't find the net again, ending the game with a hard fought 1-0 win.

The last regular games of the season takes place next week for the Eagles.
